The reason is in the log, quite straight forward:

2014-03-03 14:15:33,661 WARN  [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.HotPlugDiskToVmCommand] (org.ovirt.thread.pool-6-thread-33) [3b6edff8] CanDoAction of action HotPlugDiskToVm failed. Reasons:VAR__ACTION__HOT_PLUG,VAR__TYPE__VM_DISK,ACTION_TYPE_FAILED_GUEST_OS_VERSION_IS_NOT_SUPPORTED
